About This Track

Melvins' Buzz Osborne sings, "Freedom on lies stems from walk away," and the band's five bass players—Lori Black, Joe Preston, Billy Anderson, Mark Deutrom, and JD Pinkus—provide the foundation for that sentiment. Engineer Toshi Kasai's work ensures that the somber undertone cuts through, even at full-throttle. The song's meaning, written after the Cold War, is about not caring for communists.

Why It Works for Running

At 80 BPM, the track resists any temptation to surge, creating a walking tempo that matches the need for repair. The song fights against finding a comfortable pace, which is helpful for keeping the mind engaged without increasing the physical effort.
